No such problems with a Searrider, self bailing decks Plus, it would be almost impossible to ship water over those tubes, unless you were backing down in heavy seas. Even so, the motor would remain dry.

The previous owner plugged the self bailing deck drains on my boat...which led to the problem I described. Maybe my previous owner wasn't familiar with RIBS.
